Rep. Rashida Tlaib as part of her Economic Dignity for All agenda has introduced a new version of her BOOST Act which is now a Universal Basic Income of $250/mo paired with a new 2.5% tax on incomes over $30k to function as a phaseout. That means everyone under $150k would see a net boost in income.

BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.

We aren’t built to carry 8 billion people in our heads at all times. If every country had universal basic income, we could focus on our own lives and communities without feeling like someone else’s poverty is our fault for not doing more. UBI makes care scalable.

Universal basic income was needed decades ago, but it's even more needed now. We must decouple survival from jobs. Universal healthcare is needed too for this. We must demand these things and vote accordingly.

US GDP is now over $29 trillion, or about $85k per person, even before AI kicks in. That seems like enough to eliminate poverty.

The AI job cuts just hit Nestle’s white collar workers - and the stock jumped. www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/b...

Our economy is running on the spending of the top 10%. It does not care about the bottom 60%. I think this is also why they aren't pushing for universal basic income right when you'd think they would to maintain consumer buying power. Our consumer economy has become reoriented around elite spending.

Orthopedic surgeon said it was a difficult surgery but it is healing. Got the staples out but still not allowed to put weight on it. Pain has lessened and I’m hanging in there.

"Without new visions we don't know what to build, only what to knock down." Don't tell me that fascism means it's not the time to talk about universal basic income and healthcare. We absolutely need a vision of what to fight for instead of just what we're fighting against. Paint the picture.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

They always say the same basic thing. They are always wrong. And we should do what we have always done and do the thing that needs doing anyway, which this time around is universal basic income and healthcare, and a 4-day workweek.

It's possible (albeit less likely since recording this) that Thailand could implement a Negative Income Tax in 2027, which could make it the first country with a permanent guaranteed basic income floor. What makes the approach different from UBI is the phaseout rate based on an income test.

Episode 22 of The Basic Income Show. We covered the news out of Thailand about them possibly doing a NIT in 2027 (less likely now). We also covered how universal basic income could lead to more cat subways and creations like Silksong, and how Mexico dropped poverty by providing cash to all seniors.

Thank you to everyone who helped me on this journey. The surgery is complete, but with some complications. The doc says no cast, just a walker. The plate and pins hold it all together I guess. I’m in a lot of pain but hopefully it will ebb soon. Might be released in a few days. Gory pics follow.

So many people came through for me, including Andrew Yang and some of the Yang gang. I have enough data to cover my expenses. Thank you so much to everyone. I’m deeply grateful.

To save the lives of infants and small kids in lower resource countries, there are a handful of tools: anti-malarial drugs, bed nets and vaccines. A massive experiment in rural Kenya suggests another.

This certainly explains a lot.

This data set from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com shows declining conscientiousness and agreeableness and increasing neuroticism across generations - probably linked to smartphone use and social media.

"We think that during the course of the next recession the speed and the breadth of the adoption of the AI tools and applications in the workplace might induce large scale displacement for occupations that consist of primarily non-routine cognitive tasks," wrote a senior U.S. economist at JPMorgan.

The best move against gerrymandering would be to move to proportional representation with multi-member districts. There’s a bill in Congress called the Fair Representation Act that would accomplish this.

America: "We refuse to meet your basic needs unconditionally, because doing that would cost a lot and send the wrong message, but, if you commit crimes, we will punish you by meeting your basic needs, and we are perfectly willing to spend ten times what it would originally have cost."

Bersh kept calling me and every time I went outside I couldn’t find him. On the fifth call, I finally found him in a different spot than he usually lands. I gave him a strawberry and he held it carefully so he wouldn’t drop it. Check out the open claw. #LifeInAThaiForest
